I am using computer with LCD screen 8-12h every day for many years, but can not read on LCD screen for more then 15', so if I have to read long emails or articles ... I always print them out and read on papers. And it is not just me , many of my colleagues have the same eye-strain problem.
I envy some of my friends, who do not have eye-strain problem, reading long novel on LCD screen.
E-ink screen is not a perfect replacement of paper but it offers a compromise between paper and LCD screen.
I did test iPad screen and found it causes the same eye-strain as my office LCD.
Bottom line there are different tastes, different needs; iPad is not one-size fits all e-Reader.
